I don't know if this has been talked about before or not, but do PAR numbers actually relate to LED's it seems from the LEDs that I have researched (name brands) the PAR numbers are significantly lower than that of a halide. Yet they still produce the same amount of growth and in most cases...

I have a skimmer that came with my tank that I haven't added yet and I have had great results so far. But I did want to add it to the tank, the problem is the pump that came with that skimmer (mind you it is custom made) is horribly loud it is a old beast of a pump for a 2900 lph or lpm. I...

Well I just picked this up yesterday but do to the fact I had my nose cauterized I can't do any work on it for couple of days. It doesn't need much but does need some. It is a 180 gallon acrylic 6x2x2, came with the protein skimmer can't find a brand name or anything on it but looks capable of...

I am going to be setting up a 180 gallon reef setup, here in the next couple weeks, but am getting mixed reviews as to what I read. I'm looking for some personal experience with wavemakers what works for you? I do eventually wish to keep SPS in this tank. I was looking at the Tunze since...

Earlier today I was looking over the tank and began to notice what looked to be very small Rose bubble tip anems, they were about half inch or less. Is this a possibility or am I seeing something else? I will try to get pictures tomorrow when I get back home for better identification, just...

I'm sure this has been on here before but I have to ask, I have a 90 gallon bow from I bought with a single overflow box that has two 1" returns in it, that drains to a 25 gallon sump. What type of return pump should I look at for this tank. I did buy this tank used so I'm currently resealing...

I have the anem in the picture below that hasn't really opened up since I put it in the tank 2 days ago. Is this common will it open up after it acclimates?

Alright, well it took a day or two longer than what I expected but I finally finished the first LED light. Next ones we make will not be out of acrylic, but aluminum! This one was purely just for fun.

I just ordered my first two fish, a pair of Picasso Clowns. When they come in what is an effective way of acclimating them? The second question is since I put my HOB protein skimmer in I have noticed a spike in micro bubbles I believe, the tank just looks like it has small bubbles everywhere...

Ok, here is the thing for some reason I cannot get my overflow and return pump to work in unison, even with a ball valve. There is no way my pump is giving enough gph and it is really pissing me off. I'm about to get rid of this sump all together and just get a canister! Someone please help...

I have ok lighting right now but this would be double what I have. Would this be worth it to buy? 36" T5 Light HO Aquarium Marine Reef Cichlid 156W Lunar - eBay (item 300495811520 end time Dec-21-10 15:23:39 PST)

I think this is the culprit behind the death and destruction of my cleaner shrimp. What is it?

I know I've seen this post somewhere before but I just couldn't find where, I have a crab in the middle of my tank right now on it's back flailing around. It looks like it's changing colors so I think it's molting but I haven't seen this behavior anywhere else. My tank is still cycling, so any...

I have a 46 Bow Front I just set up and everything seemed to be have been right until today when I brought the live rock home and had the water and all that jazz in there. My pump and Ecoplus 1056 and my pf-800 Overflow box are apparently not compatible, the return pump is pumping to much and...
